Name: Nikita di’Roma
Gender:
Female
Race:
Human(?)
Sub-Race:
Unknown
Appearance: (Please excuse the large Image)
Hair: A slivery white color. Most of the time it is tucked under a brightly colored head scarf, though a few locks from her bangs hang loose. Out of the scarf, her hair reaches to the small of her back.
Eyes: A fiery gold color that seems to burn a hole into your very soul.
Skin: Light Olive Tone/Dark Tan
Hight: 5’6”
Weight: 130lbs
Build: Lean but Toned
Attire: Nikita wears a gypsy style outfit. Atop her head is a scarf that she uses to keep her hair out of her face when she fights or dances. Also adorning her head is a simple gold head band with four medallions that dangle across the front. Her ears are decorated with golden earrings that dangle and sway with her motions. Around her neck are three large rings; two gold and one silver. Attached to the bottom ring is the outer covering of the brazier which is a sheer pink cloth that wraps around her back and is clasped in the front with an elaborate brooch. Underneath is her primary brazier. It, too, is connected to the brooch and had a tiger stripe pattern on it.
On her upper right arm, three more, smaller rings of the same composition criss-cross. Her upper left arm sports a thick gold bangle with intricate patterns carved into it. Both wrists have gold cuff's that, when she performs, can attach to her sash.
Nikita's midriff is completely bare, but this is purposeful, as it shows off her belly dancing skills.
The skirt she wears is made of two parts. The outer part is orange and has two slits that allow for her legs to show through. Under that is a cream colored fabric that act like baggy pants. She wears an intricate set of belts to both keep the skirt in place, and to add to the effect of her movements.
Usually, Nikita is barefoot, especially when she dances, but when the situation calls for it, she wears a pear of simple cloth shoes with a leather sole that match the rest of her outfit.
On her side is a simple black sheath in which she holds her prized possession; the blade given to her by her mentor.
Personality:
Fiery and seductive. Nikita has been described as such many times. Although, that isn't exactly what she is like. In reality, she is kind and selfless to those she sees in trouble. She is, however, very untrusting of men and tends to see them mainly as sniveling pigs, though she hides it well. She can have a bit of a temper with other adults (if they get on her nerves), but tends to be gente with children, but stern when need be. She would never show such behavior in front of men, however.
If ever in a situation where she must defend herself, another woman, or a child, she will not hesitate to draw her blade. As the saying goes, "hell hath no fury like a woman scorn."
Magic:
Sound & Light
Spells:
Gift Of Voice:Whenever she speaks, sings, or hums (basically, uses her vocal cords) Nikita can, by force of will, add an element to her voice that tends to calms whoever hears it and even bend them to her will by power of suggestion. It take a lot of concentration to perform this spell, so it can be a bit taxing. It does not change voice in any notable way, so it can be difficult to detect.
*When this spell is in effect, her words will be bolded and italicized[/i]. [/size]
Oh, Holy Light: By pushing her energies toward her center (around her navel), she can produce a flash of blinding light that has the capability of stunning an aggressor. It is a spell that uses much energy and works best during an adrenaline rush.
Deceptive Beauty: With a single word ["Scatter!"] and the intent of using this spell, Nikita can produce a wave of little orbs of light, originating from her body that look like snow. They tend to mesmerize opponents and when they come in contact with a target, they explode, leaving the victim severely burned or worse. The down side to this spell, however, is that once the orbs are released, Nikita has no control over their trajectory.
Mercy of the Great Goddess: To use this healing spell, Nikita will extend her hands over the effected person/area and focus her mind completely on the injury. In a matter of moments, droplets of light fall from her hands and fall onto the injury, healing whatever is wrong. This spell, however, only works on fresh wounds (i.e. wounds under a week old).
Skills:
Dancing, Singing, Playing Various Instruments: Nikita makes her money as a traveling performer. She dances (similar to belly dancing), sings, and plays a variety of strange musical instruments to entice spectators to give up their money to the attractive foreign girl.
Wound Dressing: Beacause of Nikita's soft spot for children, she learned early on how to treat minor wounds and injuries. It also helps when she is not in a position to use her healing spell.
Sword Play/Fighting: She is also very good at using her sword. Her being left handed give her a slight advantage as it usually throws off her advisory. Her blade is always around her, for it is her prized possession.
Biography:
Age: 24
Mother: Sonia di'Roma [Maiden name: de'Ashef] (Deceased)
Father: Konstantine di'Roma
Siblings: Aleksander di'Roma (Brother; Deceased), Accalia di'Roma (Sister; fate unknown to her)
Partner: None
Nikita was born into a very strict family. Her father expected absolute perfection from the entire family in every aspect of their daily life. He had his daughters trained in the ways of being a good house wife and mother, as was the custom of their region. They were taught to be quiet and graceful, as well as soft-spoken and obedient. Neither of the girls took too well to this and often rebelled is subtle ways. Unfortunately, those rebellions let to beatings. There were hit in such a way as to not damage them, for if they were damaged, then others would know of the fathers cruelty.
One day, Nikita found herself ease dropping on a conversation between her father and a strange man. They were discussion betrothals of both her and Accalia. She listened to as much as she could stand, then ran to her mother who, at the time, was heavily pregnant with her third child. Nikita questioned her mother, but she only received silence and tears in response. She ran to her sister and told her of what she had discovered. They decided that they would not let this happen, and made a pact with each other; they would leave on the night of the next new moon.
Later that night, their mother went into labor. The baby had a hard time coming out and when it did, it was sickly and it left their mother weak. Regardless of the conditions of the two, the baby boy was named. It was to be called Aleksander. Konstantine was proud to finally have a son.
As fate would have it, though, the babe was too weak...as was his mother. After three days, Aleksander died. The next morning, Sonia followed. Stricken with grief, the girls could wait no longer. Their father had become even more violent at the loss of his first born son, and the two could not stand to be beaten again. The night after their mother passed on, the two girls, 16 an 17 at the time, snuck away from home and ran away. Their father sent gaurds after them. As they ran through the streets of the town, they lost each other. Nikita, being younger, began to panic. She lost her footing a few times and fell twice. As she kept running, though, she felt something strange happen to her body. A blue glow began to surround her, originating around her navel, and it spread throughout her body. She began to think she was dying. She looked up into a moonless sky as she ran, thinking she would soon be joining the Great Goddess, when the light suddenly dissipated. She looked back down and realized she was now on four legs. She tried to scream but it came out in a growling howl. After that, she blacked out.
When she awoke, she lay in a strange bed. She sat bolt upright and stared at her hands...they were hands now, not paws as she had seem last night. She gave a sigh of relief. A woman of about 40 walked into the room then. The woman introduced herself as Diora A'Nolan. She was an ex-concubine of the kings harem who was now married to a nobleman's blacksmith.
Nikita learned many thing from the Diora. She learned that she was what was know as a Kalakar, or specially gifted. Under the darkness of the new moon she could change her form to that of a wolf. This ability frightened her, and she refused to use it. Other than her ability to transform, she was also gifted in two other ways; In that of Voice and of Light. Diora assisted her in using these abilities to her benefit. Diora also taught Nikita to dance, as well as sword fighting.
Seven years went by for Nikita in Diora's care. By this time, she had mastered dance and become very good at sword play. She decided it was time to leave and search for her sister. Nikita thanked Diora and her husband for all of their help. Upon her departure, Diora's husband, Alesso, gifted Nikita with a beautifully crafted blade. After tears and goodbyes, Nikita set out on her mission: Find Accalia.
